Ecbatic \Ec*bat"ic\, a. [See {Ecbasis}.] (Gram.) Denoting a mere result or consequence, as distinguished from telic, which denotes intention or purpose; thus the phrase "i`na plhrw`qh, if rendered "so that it was fulfilled," is ecbatic; if rendered "in order that it might be." etc., is telic. [1913 Webster]
